I learned to be a college student this semester.
This course pushed me and I loved it. I learned a lot about myself and I don't believe any other course could have done this. Professor Floren helped me grow as a person. She challenged me and made me really think.
Professor Floren is fair, honest, respectful, understanding, and loving; it's like having a hard parent—you might not like everything she says right away, but you know it is for your own good.
Boy were the papers tough! But I am glad they weren't easy now that I'm done. Thanks!
After the first day, I thought the class was too hard and wanted to drop, especially after the Hamlet paper. I am proud of how I stuck with it. I learned that something difficult is usually the most rewarding in the end. I am so excited I stuck with the work. This is a great class and can show what people are really made of.
